1. And through al-Liwā’s precincts passed the memory of youth,

    and roused a longing that never ceases to be roused,

  2. on a night black as a gazelle’s gazing eye,

    though white with the radiance of your face.

  3. Its stars are radiant white and yellow, as though they were

    sword-pommels, some gilded and others silvered.

Sol 5.6
